Tiger balm is for the human body what duct tape is for objects.

Is it me, or do conspiracy theories grow more and more popular around these parts ? I had a discussion with another student and he told me that he learned in his class that "september 11th was an inside job ( Read more... )

The heroes episode that aired on monday was great. It was too Nikkicentric amd I just don't think that I like her character all that much. The whole Claire subplot was geat, though. I'm starting to like the Horn Rimmed Glasses Man more and more though and his character is developping greatly. My wife automatically cast him as one of the bad guys. I ( Read more... )

The geek in my lives once more. The end of this episode just leaves me wanting even more. It must be the comic book overtone of the whole thing. I just love how Hiro pulls off a Kitty Pryde in a "Days of future past"-style cliffhanger.

The oka crisis was all over the news. To make a long story short, the oka crisis was all about some people deciding that a native ancestral burial ground would be turned ( Read more... )

September 1989. It was my first day of high school. It was also then that i was expected I had to adapt from public school to a private school. It's not true, I was at a private school the previous year as well, for my last year in elementary school ( Read more... )

It was the summer of 1985 and I was eight years old. I was with my mother and we were waiting for a friend of hers at the bus station. The said friend's bus was running late, so she decided to go to the news stand to buy the week's edition of the National Enquirer. Being as young as I was, I decided to follow her and wound up in the comic books ( Read more... )
